Shaken and stirred: Terahertz electric field control of magnetism
The rapid move to wireless devices and the advent of cloud-based technologies in the 21st century’s digital economy call for denser, faster and more energy efficient data storage. However, the heat produced by modern data centres has already become a serious limitation to further increase their performance. At present, the data industry lacks a solution for this problem, which is expected to contribute greatly to the global warming and energy crisis in the near future. With MAGSHAKE I aim to pave the way towards a memory device characterized by very low energy consumption and switching times of one trillionth of a second. Very short pulses of electro-magnetic radiation at a terahertz (THz)…
